A.The general function of the urinary system is to maintain homeostasis by balancing the volume and chemical make up of the blood (thus Kidney has long term control of blood pressure) and elimination of wastes [toxins, nitrogenous wastes, and excess ions]

e. Cell types in nephron (how kidney works) ( 1) PCT cubodial epithelium w/ microvilli. Absorption from PCT to peritubular capill. (2) Loop of henle, thin segment is simple squamous for osmosis of H20 out and into blood; water follows Na+ from left side loop. (3) Collecting ducts are cuboidal/columnar w/ aquaporins inserted when ADH for [urine] (4) DCT lumen is ridged. M/B is enfolded, for secretion movement from blood to DCT(pH). (5) JG cells (JGA) BP sensors in arterioles, smooth muscle cells control diameter of As (6) Macula densa (JGA), chemoreceptors in DCT promote dilation or constriction of afferent Arteriole, as Renin is released eA is constricted, as are other BV of body = rise in BP.

(7) Peritubular capillaries arise from efferent arteriole and surround PCT and other tubules, but are called vasa recta when long loops of henle dip down into medulla in juxtamedullary nephrons. (F) is removal of H2O which follows Na+ = [urine]
